Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0243977A1] A still image pickup camera has a solid state image pickup device (1) comprising an image pickup area (2), a temporary storage area (3), and a horizontal shift register (4). The signal charges in the image pickup area are transferred to the temporary storage area by the transfer pulses (P1) which are given for a vertical blanking period. Clear pulses (CP) which are equivalent to the transfer pulses are given at a desired timing in the interval between the vertical sync signals (VD) so as to enable the photo sensing interval (storage interval) in the image pickup area to be reduced and varied, thereby transferring the signal charges in the image pickup area to the temporary storage area and clearing the image pickup area.
